• io-tools

  • Missing categories

    Categories improve browsing of lib.rs and crates.io. Add categories = ["…"] to the Cargo.toml.

    Even if there are no categories that fit precisely, pick one that is least bad. You can also propose new categories in crates.io issue tracker.

    List of available categories

  • No repository property

    Specify git repository URL in Cargo.toml to help users find more information, contribute, and for lib.rs to read more info.

  • Latest stable release is old

    It's been over 6 years. Is this crate still maintained? Make a new release, either to refresh it, or to set

    [badges.maintenance]
    status = "deprecated"
    

    (or "as-is", "passively-maintained").

    If the crate is truly stable, why not make a 1.0.0 release?

  • The Cargo package has no git commit information

    Before publishing a package, make sure all packaged files are committed to the repository, and there are no "dirty" files. Push this commit to crate's public repository.

    To protect against supply chain attacks similar to CVE-2024-3094, lib.rs will soon start flagging non-reproducible packages without public source code as suspicious. Currently only git repositories are supported (but may be hosted anywhere, not just GitHub). If you'd like a different SCM supported, please file a feature request.

  • Missing keywords

    Help users find your crates. Add keywords = ["io", "io-tools"] (up to 5) to the Cargo.toml. Best keywords are alternative terms or their spellings that aren't in the name or description. Also add a keyword that precisely categorizes this crate and groups it with other similar crates.

  • Using outdated edition for no reason

    We estimate that this crate requires at least Rust 1.37, which is newer than the last 2015-edition compiler. You can upgrade without breaking any compatibility. Run cargo fix --edition and update edition="…" in Cargo.toml.

    Using the latest edition helps avoid old quirks of the compiler, and ensures Rust code has consistent syntax and behavior across all projects.

  • Dependency log 0.3 is significantly outdated

    Upgrade to 0.4.22 to get all the fixes, and avoid causing duplicate dependencies in projects.

    In Cargo, different 0.x versions are considered incompatible, so this is a semver-major upgrade.

  • Dependency log4rs 0.7.0 is significantly outdated

    Upgrade to 1.3.0 to get all the fixes, and avoid causing duplicate dependencies in projects.

    Easy way to bump dependencies: cargo install cargo-edit; cargo upgrade -i; Also check out Dependabot service on GitHub.

    Help users find your crates. Add keywords = ["terminal", "term-rs", "dev"] (up to 5) to the Cargo.toml. Best keywords are alternative terms or their spellings that aren't in the name or description. Also add a keyword that precisely categorizes this crate and groups it with other similar crates.

  • Using outdated edition for no reason

    We estimate that this crate requires at least Rust 1.36, which is newer than the last 2015-edition compiler. You can upgrade without breaking any compatibility. Run cargo fix --edition and update edition="…" in Cargo.toml.

    The Edition Guide

• io-tools, term-rs, concurrent-utils

  • README missing from crate tarball

    Cargo sometimes fails to package the README file. Ensure the path to the README in Cargo.toml is valid, and points to a file inside the crate's directory.

• concurrent-utils

  • Crate contains junk files

    The crate contains boilerplate Rust files with no real functionality.

If some of these crates are unmaintained and shouldn't be checked, yank them or add [badges.maintenance]
status = "deprecated" to their Cargo.toml.
